Latin Verb Grammar: 1st Conjugation

Well, I have nothing to do, so I guess I'll just write down what I know about verbs.

1st Conjugation: ends in -áre with an accent on the "á"

clamo, clamáre, clamavi, clamatus

Present
Active
clamo (I yell)
clamas
clamat
clamamus
clamatis
clamant

Passive
clamor (I am yelled at)
clamaris
clamatur
clamamur
clamamini
clamantur



Imperfect
Active
clamabam (I was yelling)
clamabas
clamabat
clamabamus
clamabatis
clamabant

Passive
clamabar (I was being yelled at)
clamabaris
clamabatur
clamabamur

clamabantur



Perfect
Active
clamavi (I yelled)

clamavit
clamavimus
clamavistis
clamaverunt

Passive
clamatus sum (I was yelled at)
clamatus es
clamatus est
clamati sumus
clamati estis
clamati sunt

※Note: In perfect passive, you can also use variations of clamatus depending on the gender you're talking about.
For example:
If you were a dog (canis, which is masculinum), "I was yelled at" would be "clamatus sum".
If you were a bird (avis, which is femininum), "I was yelled at" would be "clamata sum".
If you were a necklace (monile, which is neuter), "I was yelled at" would be "clamatum sum".

The same goes for plural:
If we were dogs, "we were yelled at" would be "clamati sumus".
If we were birds, "we were yelled at" would be "clamatae sumus".
If we were necklaces, "we were yelled at" would be "clamati sumus".
